Between Express Companies Under Con
sideration-- Exchange of Territory.
CLEVELAND, o., September "A well
defined rumor was current here this morn
ing TO the effect that big deal was about
to be consummated between the American
and United States Express Companies,
whereby the former was to gain the local
expess traffic on the Lake Shore and Mich
igan Southern Railway from Cleveland
west TO Chicago, and the United States
Company was to gain other valuable terri
tory in exchange.
Superintendent Hughes, of the American
Express Company, said, in regard to the
rumOr, that he knew nothing of such
deal OF course, he said, the American
could use the western section of the Lake
Shore road TO good advantage, ~ it had
the line east 10 Buffalo The matter had
been talked of for years, but has never
taken definite shape. United States Ex-
press and Lake Shore railroad officials also
profess ignorance of the deal though high

opinion that the time is not far distant
when the principal express companies will

TARIFF REFORM MEASURES.
The Policy OF the Administration Confer

The Policy of the Administration Confer
ence of Prominent Democrats.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., September p
The Erening Star this afternoon publishes
the following: There will be a measure
brought forward by the tariff reformers as
soon as Congress convenes which will
likely have the endorsement of the ad-
ministratIoD. The President, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Speaker Carlisle
have been considering the matter since
Congress adjourned, and il is not i'm
probable that the present visit Of Mr..
Carlisle to the President at Oak View will
result in the adoption of their plan. 1t is
possible that the Speakers visit at this
time was expressly for the purpose Of con-
sulting with the President upon this sub
ject.
1t is expected at the treasury depart
ment that Secretary Fairchild, who is now
on his vacation will soon return to Wash
ington. 1t is probable that he comes to
meet the President and Mr. Carlisle. The
result of the Allentown convention is quite
satisfactory to the tariff reformers. They
intend to take advantage of the situation
and present plan for the reduction of rev.
enues The plan being prepared will con-
form strictly with tariff resolution there
adopted, az it is construed by the Presi-
dent. 1t will also adopt the tobacco clause
but will leave the whisky tax where it is.
The internal revenue feature
Is ADMITTED AS A COMPROMISE
and will he tolerated only in connection
with a very positive reduction of customs.
II is likely that the reduction of the Gus
toms will be more sweeping than Mr.. Ran
dali would agree to, though it is hoped
that the whole party can be brought to
work together harmOniously.
Mr.. Scott was in Washington shortly be-
fore the Allentown convention, and talked
the matter Overwith the President and
Secretary Faircbild. Editor Singerly
conferred with the President likewise,
it will be rendered, on his
yacht on the Potomac. The administra-
tion is fully committed to strong atti-
tude on the tariff, While there has been
no general conference of large number OF
men in one place there have been import
leaders and the President.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, who is to be chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee in
the next House, is in the city and has had
conferences with Mr.. Carlisle.

SPEEDY SETTLEMENT
OF THE CANADIAN FISHERY DISPUTE EX.
PEGTED By BOTH GOVERNMENTS.
Secretary Bayard Discusses The Situation The In
pellmels Hitherto Experienced British Red
Tspe-En Englandis Commissioners
able Action Of The Government

New YORK, September 2.-The Tines
Washington SPECIAL says: Secretary Bay
ard spoke fully to Times correspondent in
regard to the new phase assumed by the
Canadian fisheries question. He regarded
it as most hopeful indication of a speedy
adjustment of these long pending difficult
ties that the British Government had itself
taken steps to put an end to the manner in
which negotiations had hitherto been car
ried on. Every proposition submitted by
the United States had to be referred to
Canada for the views Of the Dominion
Government, and after months Of delay
would be returned with the Csnadiad OBJ
jections. Secretary Bayard referred to a
proposition made by him to Lord
Iddesleigh, British Secretary of For
eign Affairs, who subsequently
died. That proposition remained
unanswered for months after Lord Iddes-
leigh's death, and was finally returned by
Lord Salisbury with the Canadian obiec-
tions Secretary Bayard said all embar-
rassments and delays would be obviated
by the appointment of royal commission
ers, clothed with full authority to speak
for Great Britain and Canada. The State
Department had not been officially advised
who would constitute the commission on
the part of Great Britain.
1t was not correct, as stated in the dis
patches from London, that American COM
missioners had already been selected. In
absence of direct auth rity from Congress
there could be no United States commits.
sioners appointed with full power. All the
American representatives could do would be
to agree upon an amendment or an
Interpretation of the treaty of 1918,
which would have to be laid before the U.
s. Senate for its action berore it could take
effect. In point Of fact, the L. s. Com
missioners were not absolutely necessary.
The Secretary of State, as sole representa-
tive of the U. S. could negotiate treaty
subject, of course, to ratification by the
President or Senate. But if Great Britain
wished negotiation TO be conducted by
three representatives on each side, that
desire might properly be complied with by
the President Secretary Bayard intima'
ted that this wonld he the best course,
and subsequent conversation left impres.
son on the mind of the Times correspondent
that the President, in all probability,
would designate two other able inter.
national jurists to cooperate with the
Secretary of State in the negotiations.

REASONS FOR WITHDRAWING.
An Ex-Membsr of the q. A. X. States Some
Plain Facts About the Body.

81. Louis RCpUbH an.
Mr.. w. Hayes, formerly a soldier in
Hart's Fifteenth New York battery and of
Co. c, Hancock's United States veteran
corps, is resident of Hyer's Corners, Wis.
He writes his reasons for withdrawing from
the c. A. r.:
First reason, that the order has been
turned from its fundamental principles to
aselfsh aud unpatriotic purpose. Proof,
its attempt to shape legislation in pension
matters. Whenever secret order attempts
to shape legislation in its own interests it
becomes dangerous thing to any nation,
and therefore should be summarily sup
pressed. Second reason, that the G. A. K.
has fallen into the hands OF a powerful ring
OF claim agents more corrupt than the Chi
cago "boodlers." Proof, Gen. Lowering,
at the last national encampment,
charged the ring with using S40,-
600 in lobbying the claim
agent fee bill through Congress. Third
reason, that the order has become partisan.
Proof, while commander of post in this
state other members with myself received
campaign documents from the Republican
congressman entitled Democratic Discrim-
ination against the Soldier" Again, by
the passing of resolutions denouncing those
in authority for exercising their political
and executive judgment in certain meas
ures Of public nature and also by abusing
political opponents at nearly every soldiers
gathering Fourth reason, for fragrant
violation of the rules and regulations Of
the order by publishing broadcast the
proceedings of posts without proper au-
thority. Fifth reason, the threat that GER
tain leaders (aS alleged have made that
they propose at the next national encamp-
ment TO denouncc the President for daring
to veto certain pension bills.
